4 Simple Methods to Improve Consistency and Reduce Injuries. Interview with research expert John Davis
Most coaches would probably agree that the answer to that is consistency.
Consistency means both training regularly as well as staying healthy.
Tell me if this sounds familiar:
You have a goal race picked out and your training is going better than ever, including some PRs in tune-up races, only to suffer some minor but debilitating injury only weeks before race day. Unfortunately, this is an all-too-common scenario and you’re not alone if it’s happened to you.
Now, the question is – how do you avoid that?
John Davis, our RunnersConnect Head of Running Research, has had his fair share of injuries and setbacks to his training and racing. He started asking himself the question: “Why do runners get injured?” and began writing about it. He has come up with some interesting conclusions.
John generously shared his ideas on injury prevention and training with us. The key points of our discussion were:
We’d like to thank John very much for his time and wish him continued health as he returns to racing. (Ed. On February 7th, John bettered a 4-year-old indoor mile PR by running 4:25.11 at the Carleton Invite in Minnesota)
